AI Godfather Calls xAI 'Kind of a Failure' as 11 Cofounders Bail
Yann LeCun, a Turing-winning godfather of AI, went on CNBC and called Musk's xAI 'kind of a failure' after all eleven non-Musk cofounders walked out.
"XAI is kind of a failure, frankly"
CNBC
LeCun said the quiet part into a CNBC camera, that xAI is “kind of a failure, frankly,” because basically everyone who built it has quit, with the last of the eleven original cofounders gone since March . He pointed out the lab now keeps the lights on by renting its giant Colossus computers to the very rivals beating it, and he warned the whole sector sits one cost spike away from a bubble explosion. LeCun runs a competing lab that bets today’s chatbots are a dead end, so season the dunk with salt. Your f*ucking AI bled its entire founding team and now survives as a landlord for the companies that lapped it. Read CNBC on LeCun’s comments.
